Over-The-Air Sync for iPhones

Hello again from Chaos Software Group! We have a very exciting development for iPhone and iPod Touch users to announce today!  If you have a different type of smart phone, you still should read this email because similar functionality is in the works for other phones, also, with detail below.

Announcing Over-The-Air Mobile Sync with ChaosHost.com

You may already be aware of an add-on service we offer to our users called Chaos Data Hosting. Getting an account on our ChaosHost.com server allows us to host a working copy of your Contacts, Appointment Calendar, Tasks and Memos databases that you can then use anywhere. This data on ChaosHost.com can be synchronized with Chaos products using an option you will find is already built-in, on the File Menu, under Web Synchronization.

A brand new addition to ChaosHost is a new ability to synchronize with mobile devices over-the-air through the Internet!  We are very excited about this feature because it means you can....

Get Contacts and Calendar data on your iPhone/iPod Touch without iTunes or Outlook or even connecting to a PC!

Just as our Chaos Intellect and Time & Chaos products have a way to sync with ChaosHost.com, iPhone and iPod Touch devices also have a built-in way to sync with ChaosHost. You need at least version 2.x of Apple's firmware installed on your device and a ChaosHost.com account to store your data. On your device's list of Mail, Contact and Calendar Accounts, you can add ChaosHost and then you have stored on ChaosHost will be sent directly to your device through the Internet. You won't have to connect your device to a computer at all to get this data!

Your iPhone and iPod touch is also able to keep synchronizing over the air as you use the Calendar or Contacts on your iPhone, so changes you make while mobile will get copied back to ChaosHost.com. When you return back to your computer where Intellect is installed, you can do a Web Synchronization to pull those changes down to our software on your PC, too!

If you have a ChaosHost account, check out the full details on using and configuring this option in the ChaosHost help files. If you don't have an account yet, look below for details on getting a free trial account started.

Have a different smartphone?

We are currently in open beta testing for Over-The-Air synchronization with Windows Mobile devices and Nokia E and N series phones.

Some Palm devices come with editions of the VersaMail email program that might be able to take advantage of this service too. If you have a Palm device with VersaMail and Internet access from your device, we are looking for alpha testers!

If you do have any of these smartphones and would like to give over-the-air synchronization with ChaosHost a try, please take a look in the ChaosFanatics ChaosHost.com forum at http://www.chaosfanatics.com/ for details.

Need a trial period to try out ChaosHost.com?

Our sales department is happy to set you up with a fully-functional 30-day test account.  You can call them at (972) 759-1121 or email them at sales@chaossoftware.com.  If you choose to email, be sure to include your product registration name and code so they can setup your ChaosHost account properly. You can also suggest a login name for your account, which should be a single word or phrase with no spaces.

That's all for this edition of our news!  Thanks for your continued support!
